What on earth are you on about Will!
I have an article in a CitroPassion Magazine which has a great but long article on the XM. It's in French and no idea what the hell it sez. However it has some great pics of a mk1 Mandarin V6.
Can't be bothered to use Google translate!
I am totally missing something here aren't I?!

Toothpaste is good for polishing small scratches out of windscreens. Perhaps that's what Will was referring to Russ

French articles, scan them and send them my way! That would be good. Translations to follow!

It's called topic drift and French car forums seem particularly susceptible, especially the FCF. There if a thread does not go way off-topic of its own accord a mod steps in and makes sure it does...

Toothpaste.....a little goes a long way!
Sorry Russ- actually "topic drift" is something I love about this forum- in contrast to the heavily-moderated, rule-bound rubbish of another car forum I frequent (but don't much anymore, to be honest).
Robert, would BX articles be allowed? I've got Citromania's 2-part special "30 Years of the Citroen BX" articles here (there is a small XM article in there too). I would understand if you can't be bothered!

Well I have totally missed something. Sorry guys. I don't care where the topic drifts to, as you say Rohan... Drift away!
I will scan that article then and put up here. Also I'll get a copy for you Robert.

Yay, at last Russ!
I was having a quiet chortle this morning reading the thread after I got up.
I have to say Will, it isn't an euphemism I've encountered before!
As long as no-one suggests brushing their teeth now we will be ok...do carry on!
